Custom door replication to honor your home’s original design
For many New Jersey homes, the front door is a piece of history that defines the entire facade. When a unique or historic door reaches the end of its life, a standard replacement from a showroom just won’t fit the character of the house. At WindowServ, we specialize in door replication—handcrafting new doors that are exact architectural matches of the originals. We give you the beauty and craftsmanship of the past combined with the security and weather-sealing of today.
Crafting an exact architectural match
Replication is a meticulous process where we pay attention to the details that make your door one-of-a-kind:
- Matching historic profiles and joinery. We replicate every specific detail, including custom panel depths, unique molding profiles, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Whether it’s a grand Victorian entryway or a mid-century modern slider, the new door will look like it has always been there.
- Premium, climate-ready materials. We use high-quality, sustainably sourced hardwoods like mahogany, oak, or cedar that are naturally resistant to rot and insects. Unlike old doors that have suffered from decades of NJ humidity, our replicas are built with modern techniques to stay straight and true for a lifetime.
Modern performance hidden in plain sight
A replicated door might look antique, but it functions like a high-tech entry system:
- Advanced thermal protection. We can integrate high-efficiency insulated glass and discreet modern weatherstripping into the design. This means you get to keep your home’s historic charm without the drafts and high heating bills that usually come with it.
- Authentic and secure hardware. We can restore and move your original vintage hardware to the new door or source high-quality replicas that offer modern locking strength with an aged appearance.
- Precision factory finishing. To ensure the door stands up to the elements, we apply professional-grade stains and UV-resistant topcoats that highlight the wood’s natural beauty while providing a deep layer of protection.
Preserving your property’s value
In many historic New Jersey neighborhoods, maintaining architectural accuracy isn’t just a preference—it’s a requirement. WindowServ helps you navigate these standards by providing a product that satisfies both preservation boards and your own high expectations for quality. We take pride in the “invisible” repair, where the only thing you notice is how much better the door operates and how much warmer your hallway feels.
